... Until now.

@itsyoung!! you got some explaining to do.

I can't knock the "hustle" of the PC nerds. But the Dota 2 championships are on TV right now
So they got that purse to be high because of that... some ppl tried to make it seem like it was just that big for other reasons

Its on ESPN3 right now :beli:

So is that how the money got so high?

but thats ironic you found out about it because you were watching ESPN :russ: since no one cares about PC gaming right :usure:

It's on espn? Dope shyt. I remember halo tourneys were on tv....felt like forever ago...

@PS4 you ain't gotta throw shade at everything brutha....good lord. It's irrelevant how they got the much money...we should be celebrating competitive gaming holding tourneys for that much money. That's a big fukkin deal...regardless of your gaming preference.

Sigh...

I aint gonna lie... DOTA and League of Legends have been having $1-3 million tournaments for the past 3 years or so.. but when I saw $10 million :merchant: every person on the winning team walks away with $1 million before taxes :merchant:

it is big for esports because the bigger this game gets, everything else comes along with it... They already got the sponsors (Monster, redbull, intel, etc) because the tournaments are so huge (sold out arena for 4 days in a row) and on twitch (they have a $6.99 sub button instead of $4.99 + advertisements). But if they get that ESPN money :ohhh:


edit: a lot of people dont understand that theirs been gaming houses/teams just like Soccer/Football/Baseball/Basketball for gaming.. where players get signed and traded away etc.. These guys wear jackets with a million sponsors on em, get paid hundreds of thousands a year (will be millions in the next year or two) and travel and live free.. Its BEEN like this but now with more national coverage. Competitive gaming in Europe/Asia is big as hell

I'm sorry the 3cepts have you confused on OG Bobby Buchanan :manny:
While you are going "Its not that serious you should be..." I had to cut you off, then ask you to rewind it back to the "Its not that serious"
This thread isn't to REALLY beef bruh. I just didn't want to title it "Dota 2 on ESPN"
You didn't know that, now you do.... you're welcome :birdman:
the final game is being played on ESPN / ESPN2
It makes sense then. Its summer time, there is nothing on. All the major sports are offseason or on break (baseball back today) so they had to find something
They probably went "you ever hear of a Kickstarter? I bet you these fukkin virgins would actually watch this shyt :heh:"

Play MOBAs, brehs

:wow:

If you arent familiar with the teams, NAVI has won it all I think twice in a row? They players gotta be banking...

They hardly ever stream on twitch but when they do they always get like 5-10,000 people watching them play even if its just a game or two shyts crazy cause they arent even streaming on a schedule like regular streamers

Ok, I take any good will natured things I said back @itsyoung!!

So after I peep it, I instantly come here to make this thread (so others can peep too)
I go back and I'm watching an interview they do with a guy from team PPD
They talk about how they beat some favorite.. how he used to be a fanboy, and look at him now!!!

It sounds kinda cool right now, but if you see it. Its REALLY hard to watch
Everything is so fake, like you get the feeling off the break that this shyt..well, the PC nerds are not interesting enough to be interviewed
The game is too lame
The competition just seems like a computerized I don't know.. pokemon or some shyt
Like, imagine a pokemon tournament. Then after every round they interview a real life Ash Catch'em
ON fukkin ESPN :mjlol:

That's what its like. Its on now, you can go to ESPNwatch.com to peep it
Its on demand so anytime you wanna laugh :manny:
